International Shipping Rate Tables not working

[billythecardy]

I'm trying to list some comics this morning and I can't get my international rate tables to apply. I select add International Postage, select my rate table and yet when I start the listing it doesn't have the international shipping options on it.  Is this a known issue - very annoying as these comics often sell to Australia or the US but they won't buy them if they can't see them.  Just what I need - even fewer buyers!

Well, I got a reply so that's something.

Apparently if you create a listing from a template that doesn't already have international shipping you now can't add a rate table  to the new listing. Helpful.  

There is apparently no way to add an international rate table to an existing listing. 

I tried creating a new listing and couldn't add the international rate table in that either.

The only way I could add my rate table was to put in a flat European rate (which is in my rate table anyway), and then it would allow me to add the rate table.  What a faff. 

It seems to me that eBay are trying to make international shipping so difficult that you give up and use GSP.  Well I refuse to use GSP.  I've been shipping items overseas all by myself since before GSP existed and I don't need it now.
